While not modern era here's my list:

#Honda NX 125.. this turd didn't have enough power to haul around a skinny 14yr old boy on even moderate hills.

#Kawasaki Bayou 220 quad.. yeah they sold a bunch of them because of the entry level price, but it was plagued with electrical problems and performed poorly in the woods.

#Polaris Trail Boss 330 quad.. a full size quad with great handling and suspension, but very underpowered, on a hill it would just run out of steam very quickly.

#Kawasaki Ninja 250.. some folks loved them but to me they were a toy that tried to look fast. I put atleast a hundred of them together and always dreaded the disappointing test ride after.

#Any AMF era Harley Davidson.. the quality control dropped so low it nearly put Harley out of business.

#Honda CMX 250 Rebel.. face it, it was a girl's bike.

#Any Honda CM 350-400.. never cared for any inline twin, too much reciprocating weight and lackluster performance.

#Mid 90s Kawasaki KE 100.. basically they took technology from the late 70s-early 80s to build a crap bike. I was embarrassed to see them on the showroom floor.

#'87 RM 125.. great suspension, however it had an unmanageable all or nothing powerband and was prone to frequent piston seizures.

#Yamaha Blaster 200 quad.. these things have a huge following, but I have no idea why. An air-cooled 2 stroke with an almost non-existent powerband, no speed,no hill climbing power and poor handling. About all they were good for was doing low speed 1st gear wheelies in the front yard.
